Sunday Scrap Page:Midnight in Istanbul

This week I finished my last page from my Istanbul trip.

It is made with a combination of Club Scrap papers

and Michael Strong stamps.

First i show you how I made the border:

 I tok a strip of white paper to make this border 

(2,5"x 12") and sprayed it with these three Dylusion colors 

of spray ink. I trdried it with my heat gun.

To stamp I used Michael Strong's cloisonné medaillions

and you can find them here. 

I stamped them in versamark and used 

different colors of embossing powder.

Here you see the finished border.

If you click on the picture, you can see

a larger version of it.

On the page there is some more decoration

with ribbon attached to the picture and 

some tiny sticky gemstones.

If you click on the picture you can read the

journaling on the page.

Also in the border I added some sticky gemstones.

The Club Scrap papers I used are from the

Navajo kit and the Picnic kit.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your Sunday.

Have a creative day!

Journal52 wk3: You make me smile

For the Journal53 project is here my page for week 3.

The theme is: You make me smile

and who else but little Owen makes me smile every week

that he is with me all day!

As on that day he is the center of everything that we do,

I placed himin the center of my page.

After covering my page with gesso, I used my gelatos

to give my page this bright colors.

After the coloring I used my water spritzer and used

my fingers on the page thomingle the colors

and added extra water to make the dripped lines.

On top of the gelatos I used several stecils and

ditress paint. Alot of heating in between.

The sentiment stampis one by Club Scrap (2009).

For the stars I used a stencil and a babywipe.

This took away the color and the white stars are seen.

A black marker made the contour of the star.

The spots on the paper are made  with

 white spray from Dylusions.

Have a creative day!

Journal52 - 2: Somewhere, a Simple Place

Here is my second page for my Art Journal.

The theme is "Somewhere, a Simple Place..."

There are many places where I like to be,but the best

place is home:home where he is and

home were my art is.

I started this page by laying down some stencils

and spraying a few colors of dylusion spray ink.

The page just grew by adding stamps,doodeling and 

words. It is a journey tomake a page and I like that a lot.

The stamps I used are the home and the coffee cups

(left over from the cover) by Michael Strong

and the leaves are from the Dylusion Stamps

by Ranger.

The words have been handwritten with some 

doodling around them.The works have been colored with 

a white gelpen.

The clouds heve been made with a stencil. I first applied

a layer of gessoand let it dry. Then I used the stencil again

to aplly blue distress ink (stormy sky) and used a black

pen to doodle around the clouds.

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!

Coffee Card & TJ Technique

Here is another of my coffee cards.

In the background you see the beans

in a Technique Junkies background technique

called Debossed  Dylusions

and you find it in the Dec/ Jan 2014 TJ newsletter.

For this card I used Michael Strongs mini coffee cups

and the sentiments are by Club Scrap from the Mocha Java kit.

(unfortunately not available any more)

The embossing folder is by Sizzix and

find details HERE.

When i cut the panel for the front,I had this strip

left over,that was perfect to use on the inside.

Have a creative day!
